&gt;<br> &gt; Hmmm, I don&#39;t seem to get this to work the way I want it.&nbsp;&nbsp;I get a<br> &gt; &quot;Parse of field &#39;buildable&#39; failed:&quot; which means configure failed<br> &gt; and then I can&#39;t proceed to build the second executable, bar, in<br>

&gt; the same package.<br> <br> <br>Oh, right.&nbsp;&nbsp;That&#39;s a bug in Cabal 1.2 (fixed in HEAD).&nbsp;&nbsp;Use:<br> <br>&nbsp;&nbsp; buildable: False</blockquote></span></div><div><br>OK, that solved that problem, now onto the next.&nbsp; Rather surprisingly to me, buildability has an impact on what&#39;s included in the source tar-ball created with &quot;sdist&quot;.&nbsp; What&#39;s the reason for that behaviour?</div>

</div></blockquote></span><div><br>It seems the source isn&#39;t even included on the platform where the executable *is* buildable.&nbsp; I&#39;ll see if I can put together a small example and raise a bug.</div></div></blockquote>
